Writings of Bishop Athanasius of Alexandria (A.D. 293 – 373)/ Why Jesus Came

Two miracles happened at once: the death of all men was accomplished in the Lord’s body, and death and corruption were destroyed because of the Word who was united with it. By death immortality has reached all and by the Word becoming man the universal providence and its creator and leader, the very Word of God, has been made known. For He became human that we might become divine; He revealed Himself in a body that we might understand the unseen Father; He endured men’s insults that we might inherit immortality.
